salary on time

Dislikes

very toxic work culture, politics at its peak, micro management with only some employees. managers have affair with female colleagues and they think they can do anything if you raised your voice they will force you to resign or change your team. Managers only favors to their "Chatu" employees or to those have same caste

Nothing to like here in this company. Only your salary will come on time.

Dislikes

List is huge but will mention main points only. 1. No flexibility of WFH or hybrid and you have to come 5 days to office. 2. If you are living in Noida or Noida office is near to you then also you have to travel 3 hours to come to office in gurgaon to satisfy HR/Management egos. 3. Floor environment is worst than any BPO, everyone keeps on shouting or discuss everything on your heads and also people attend their calls on laptop speakers in loud voice. You can not focus on your work and then you have to work in night at home. 4. Managers and HR are not supportive here they will play with you like a ball if you raise any concern with them. 5. No cabs facility and food is worst. 6. No learning opportunities and they will never invest on you for learning as like other companies do in form of training and certification. 7. If you are joining here in the name of Airtel my request to you do not join as things are totally different and you will never feel like product based company here. 8. Managers are not that much technical here.

- Managers & HR force employees to write good reviews on this site so that they can use new talent - Would not mention timely salary because that is a basic necessity when you are working in an org. - nothing except this

Dislikes

- The company provides little to no appraisal ( 1.5-2%) - Managers and Senior management have joined from small startups and have no regard for a good culture. - HR says company is in hybrid model and wfh is allowed whereas Managers force office 4 days a week and complain to HR if employee wfh - Too much micromanagement. In and out times are monitored but you won't get acknowledged for going out of the way for the company no matter how many extra hours you put on weekday or weekend. All that matters is the day you left early - company is not work centric , it's time spent in office centric - managers try to set the narrative that no work is done in wfh and it is a total waste whereas WFH times were the only times in the last few years when company was making YOY profits. since office start hua, company is not growing. - there is too much politics and a big gang of similar aged managers who force their own policies and make the environment toxic - Laptops provided are 5 years old already and you have to pay in case anything happens to them - business team and senior management is not great and have 0 confidence in them

Salary on time nothing else

Dislikes

1. Unreasonable pressure on leads and devs as print scope and requirement changes on daily basis due to rushed task execution demand of manager. 2. Micro management on peak here,. 3. As an outsider from other team, I have observed that the CS team culture is quite troubling. There is an excessive amount of politics among the both team member and manager, which seems to be creating an unproductive environment. 4. I have observed that on 11/10/2024 only 15-20% of members were present in CS team. There is a partiality going on regarding work from home and office timings for team members. Manager is not able to manage that how team members are coming late to office and going early. 5. I have seen that in many of teams there are 1-2 members are doing permanent WFH. I don't know how HR and managers are doing this kind of partiality.

Dislikes

This has been my worst experience in my 10+ years experience. Favoritism is prevalent in this organization. Managers flirting with female employees and promising good appraisals and promotions in return. I've never encountered a place where less experienced employee manages those with more experience. Additionally, there is a lack of positive work culture and the office hours are strictly limited to 5 days a week with an eight hours work day.
